3 Based on GoPro engineering testing. Actual performance may vary based on settings, environmental conditions and other factors. Maximum battery capacity will normally decrease with time and use.

First I want to say great customer service from MFT/OPS, they really value their customers. They earned my business. Love the GoPro Hero 4 Silver. The touch screen is a cool addition the video quality is better than previous models and is easier to use. Will use it on my kayak fishing trips and at home.
